What's one thing you do differently now compared to when you first started running? For me it's decent strength training. Started running 4 years ago and only started doing consistent strength training last year. It goes with ups and downs and it's maybe not always the most fun thing to but specific strength does make a difference

What kind of token of recognition do you MOST look forward to earning? I've never been a massive fan of medals for 'simply competing' - they just go straight in a drawer never to be seen again, BUT, having DNF'd and sat near a finish line yesterday, I REALLY coveted all the awesome people coming and collecting a medal. It felt actually earned and I think I finally 'got it' ! How about finisher t-shirts? Iron-on or velcro patches? Belt buckles? Certificates? Something more fun and collectible, like a "coin", a badge or similar? Or simple bottle of beer / chocolate is maybe reward enough in the moment?
